dandruff / folliculitis related to EBV?

Question

I had never known I had EBV until a recent blood test, my passive EBV level was 1800, my DR told me it meant I had EBV in the past and it was not active.

I had gone into the DR regarding thinning of my hair, excessive dandruff and dry skin / folliculitis on many parts of my body.  Could all these symptoms be related to EBV?

I hadn't seen anyone else discussing dandruff or folliculitis on this forum so maybe it isn't related to the EBV at all. 

I also have some tingling in my feet/hands which it appears is pretty common with EBV.

Thanks in advance, a very helpful forum!

Hello! I had EBV was I was 6 and it nearly killed me. Since then I have had recurring heavy folliculitis which has resulted in hair loss as well

YES they are related, and so far, I can't get it to stay away!! Anyone else who is having this problem, please feel free to discuss with me.. I'm curious to hear from others as well

Please check your MedHelp inbox. I sent you information that may be helpful to you. I do recommend that you work with a physician because, although these formulas are natural.... they can make you have herxing symptoms. The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction is due to organisms (particularly bacteria) dying off and when they are dying off, they release toxins in your body and so your symptoms are worse. Basically, you are detoxing. There are ways to handle the detoxing.... at least if you have detoxing symptoms when you take these formulas, you know that pathogens are being killed off. IMO... that is a good thing.

My had a bunch of test run and the only thing that came up was prior EBV.  Since then I have just been having issues that are mostly derm related, excessive dandruff and what my derm said was folliculitis.  My hair is also thinning particularly directly on top and the front portion (not male pattern baldness).

Hi, 
I find this a good question as I have a similar situation. I originally blame it on my Thyroid problem but looks like it could be EBV related. 
I would like to know the treatment.
Thank you.

Hi ! I'm sorry to hear about your condition. I did do a little bit of research (google.com... don't ya love it?) and found out that folliculitis can be due to various infections... either viral and/or bacterial.

If you would like me to send you links on possible treatments, let me know. There are treatments that are successfully treated these pathogen related conditions. I'm on one of them myself and making progress.
